Letter from Francis John Higginson to Theodore Roosevelt
Rear Admiral Higginson writes Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt praising him for his report which emphasizes investing in training Navy personnel. Higginson favors the current bill and hopes it does not die in Congress. However, the selection clause in the bill is as divisive among Navy personnel as the silver currency issue is in Congress. He hopes this bill will make for a more unified, organized Navy for the future.
